This is the current project I am working on.. It started from my drummer (Kelly Leutschaft) and I writing stuff together in 2010 and has turned into what is now called "Apocalypse Prospect". It's now my solo project but I still get help from Kelly with drum beats and patterns.
Why this name?
It just fit the theme of the concept. (The possibility of an apocalypse)
Do you play live?
Currently not playing live and don't really plan to.. but if there was enough demand I might put something together in the future.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's the future of the music industry, f*** the record labels.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably not.. It would have to be one hell of a deal.
Band History:
Prior to this project I have been in a few other bands.. "Numbskull", "Sin", "Tattletale" none of which really made it very far at all. This is my attempt at a different approach I guess.
Your influences?
Devin Townsend is a huge influence, that guy is a genius... aside from him, pretty much any band that is fist pumping and devil horns heavy.. oh and video game music is a huge influence too. Phillipe Vachey is amazing!
Favorite spot?
I love the idea of hot tropical places, but I've never been to one.
Equipment used:
My main guitar right now is a ESP LTD EC-1000 Deluxe (lefty)
I use a Mesa triple rectifier 150 watt half-stack with minimal pedals, usually just my Boss NS-2 noise suppressor and sometimes a compressor.
I have been using Guitar Rig 4 lately for recording because it's way more practical for recording.
I use Superior Drummer 2 and some expansion packs for it for the drums for right now.

Anything else...?
With this album I am going to try to make 12 very diverse songs while at the same time having a signature sound that's very distinguishable. I'm not a fan of those boring (every song sounds the same) albums that bands are throwing out lately as fast as they can.
I have tonnes of material right now, more than a full albums worth.
I'll make a post whenever a new song finished. HORNS WAY UP!
